1. The gel manicure leaves a more natural finish

1. The gel manicure leaves a more natural finish

One of the best alternatives to get a manicure is the use of gel, since the finish is more natural compared to a resin manicure. This is achieved thanks to the procedure that is used and that involves UV rays, so that the finish is much better.

In this way, the nails are given a touch of elegance. It also allows the use of multiple styles, according to your tastes and aesthetic needs. Therefore, going to the salon to have gel nails done is a great alternative.

 

2. The gel is odorless

Another important difference between gel manicure and resin manicure is that gel manicure is odorless. Because of this, many people opt for such an alternative, as the smell of monomer (i.e., acrylic liquid) is very strong and scandalous.

Interestingly, in recent years, many companies have developed low-odor monomers. Such an alternative, while retaining a slight acetone or nail polish remover scent, is less noticeable than conventional acrylic. Remember this the next time you visit us.

 

3. No risk of allergies

Both gel and acrylic do not cause allergies. However, it never hurts to see what materials your body reacts to, so that you don’t run any risk with monomer, acrylic powder or gel. It doesn’t matter whether you choose one or the other nail treatment, the important thing is that your hands look beautiful and healthy.

 

4. Gel nails last less than acrylic nails

If you ask our experts, they will tell you that gel nails last much less than acrylic nails. That is, thanks to the treatment and the process, acrylic nails last between 4 and 5 weeks.

On the contrary, the gel treatment lasts about 3 weeks. Therefore, you should consider very well which alternative benefits you the most, so that the beauty of your hands will always stay with you.

 

Tip of the day

Many people tend to fill in the spaces that are marked when natural nails grow out. If you want to prolong their duration, you can consult with a manicurist in our salon, so that he or she can tell you the right procedure.

 

5. Gel nails can hardly be repaired

Finally, it is worth mentioning that if a gel nail is broken, it is unlikely that it can be restored. Therefore, the only alternative is to remove the remains and rebuild it with the process recommended by professionals.

Acrylic nails, on the other hand, can be repaired without major problems. However, it is always necessary to have your manicure checked by an expert to find the solution that best suits you. Because the nails are important and the care should be under the eyes of manicurists of wide prestige.
